The General Overseer of the Redeemed
Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has warned that pastors
collecting bribes from politicians risk the wrath of God.
The
renowned cleric said this on his official Facebook page on Wednesday
while reacting to allegations by Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi,
that the Peoples Democratic Party had bribed some pastors with N6bn to
work against the All Progressives Congress and its presidential
candidate, Maj. Gen Muhammadu Buhri (retd.). Continue...
Adeboye, said, “I
read in the newspaper this morning that one of the serving governors in
Nigeria said that some pastors in Nigeria collected N6bn from
politicians for the purpose of influencing their members to vote a
certain candidate in the coming elections.
“May I humbly request
that if there be any pastor or pastors who collected such money, they
should please return such as quickly as possible before the fire of the
Almighty consumes you.”
Amaechi, had on Tuesday, told his
supporters not to be deceived by pastors, whom he said, were campaigning
against Buhari because he was a Muslim.
He had said, “Some
pastors collected N6bn and they are circulating document and telling you
not to vote for an Hausa man; not to vote for a Muslim; that they want
to Islamise Nigeria. Tell them to return our N6bn.
“They gave
them N6bn; they should return it to the Federal Government coffers. They
will tell you that Buhari wants to Islamise Nigeria; tell them we are
too educated.
“I am a Catholic, but no Catholic priest has told
me that story right now in the Catholic Church because I will ask him
how. If any pastor tells you that, tell him to return the money.
“Nobody
can Islamise Nigeria; they have commercialised Jesus Christ. They
should stop commercialising the Christian faith. You know what Jesus
Christ did in the temple? He chased them away.”
